It’s That Time Again… Thanksgiving Playlist Season!
Alright friends, October music has officially packed its bags and left the building, which means it’s full steam ahead into Thanksgiving vibes. You know what that means—it’s time to start cranking out the ol’ Thanksgiving playlist! This year, I’ve found some gems that are definitely making the cut. Let’s dive in.
First up: “On My Knees” by The Red Clay Strays.
If you’ve ever had one of those “Lord, help me” moments while simultaneously eating pie, this one’s for you. It’s a song about getting real with God, pouring out your heart, and remembering that gratitude starts with a little humility.
Next: “God Did” by The Sons of Sunday.
Ever have a moment where you think, “There’s no way this is working out”—and then boom, God shows up? That’s this song. It’s all about celebrating the big and small ways God proves He’s faithful.
Third: “Thank You So Much Jesus” by Aodhan King.
Yep, the title says it all. This song is basically one long, happy shout-out to Jesus for all the good stuff in life—like a musical version of stuffing your hands into a big pile of gratitude.
Fourth: “Grateful (Remix)” by Cade Thompson and Neon Feather.
A remix that makes saying “thank you” fun and danceable. It’s about choosing gratitude even when life’s a little messy, and let’s be honest, life’s always a little messy.
Fifth: “Thank You” by The Young Escape.
Another “thank you” track—but this one’s like the cheerful cousin at Thanksgiving dinner who makes you smile while reminding you why you’re grateful. Simple, sincere, and impossible not to sing along with.
Sixth: “One More Day” by The Sons of Sunday.
Back to The Sons of Sunday (because they’re that good). This song makes you stop and remember that every day is a gift. And yes, it’s also a subtle reminder not to take that extra slice of pie for granted.
Seventh: “Behold the Lamb” by Passion and Kristian Stanfill.
Deep, powerful, and perfect for a moment of reflection. This one is all about Jesus’ sacrifice and how incredible it is that we get to respond with gratitude. Grab a tissue—maybe two.
Finally: “Homecoming” by Bethel Music and Cory Asbury.
The Thanksgiving playlist isn’t just about giving thanks—it’s about joy, family, and coming home. This song reminds us of the ultimate homecoming we’ll have with Jesus, which is basically the best “welcome home” ever.
So there you have it—our fresh batch of Thanksgiving songs! By Tuesday (and yes, I’m holding myself accountable this time), I’ll post the full playlist with a link to iTunes. And if anyone wants to make a Spotify version, that would be awesome—just drop the link in the comments!
Now go forth, play some tunes, and get ready to eat, be thankful, and maybe dance a little between bites.
Happy Thanksgiving, y’all!
